And an assortment of other things like blend and bless ritual-grade teas, lead group rituals, play the ukulele, sing, read the astrology charts of fictional characters, talk to trees, and sometimes teach.

The big why? Being the best you you can be!

Doing what you gotta do – and what you want to do!

Being how you wanna be – and how you are!

LIFE – SING IT HONEY

When you are doing and being in a way that’s aligned with your big, best, most bodacious self, the world benefits.

Few, if any, of us experience a completely clear path. There are obstacles and plenty of ’em. Maybe you wandered off track, or got knocked for a loop by some bullshit, or inherited some unhealthy patterns from your family, or the world is just complicated and it’s really hard to see how to get through the muck and mire of other people’s shit.

YES MY SPICY SHRIMPS

DEAR PAIGE, how in the heeby jeeby did you become an eclectic shamanic artist or whatever the hill that is?

GREAT QUESTION my very young apprentice.

AND SPEAKING OF APPRENTICES,

I owe a lot to my magical business mentors, Theresa Reed and Briana Saussy.

In 2014 I was the winner of Theresa Reed’s Tarot Apprenticeship contest, and spent a year studying the fine art of tarot business ownership with her wise, savvy self.

Over the years I’ve taken at least seven of Briana Saussy’s sacred arts courses, including both of her year-long programs, The Miracle Tree Sessions and Spinning Gold.

In 2015 I experienced the first wave of shaman sickness that initiated me into my shaman-hood. I wish I had a better word to use than “shaman” but for the moment, it’s the best I’ve got. This word, as I understand it, means “one who has been initiated by a death experience and an initiatory helping spirit or spirits and is now able to perform deep healing work in the spirit world for both the living and the dead.”

If you learn one thing from this whole strange website, let it be this: we cannot do this LIFE thing alone. When you find a teacher, guide, companion, or friend who resonates with you, you have struck gold.

Stick with that person. Be generous with them and gratefully accept the goodness they have to offer in return. Having someone(s) you can trust is the most valuable asset for your own path in this lifetime.

MAGIC FRIENDS ARE GOOD FRIENDS YEAH

I value them.

I also value adventures and adventurers, helpy helpertons, the dead, the living, and our allies of the planet, animal, physical, and spirit worlds.

HEY! I’M DIGGIN’ IT

In my mind, a magical life is one that strives to be in right relationship with ourselves, our bodies, our communities, and our land.

FUCK YEAH

Here’s a little bit more about me:

I’m a published author and illustrator.

I’m a New Englander and a rabid traveler.

I’m an animist.

I’m an Aries with Taurus rising and a Gemini Moon.

I’m a Fire Rabbit and an INFP.

I’m the bright happy fire between the sweet dark earth and the laughing sky.
